T.K. made his way onto the court. He was thinking about the next game when he would face James. He thought back throughout the day when he watched him play and his style of basketball. He glanced over at James who was sitting there talking and drinking his sports drink.

"Hey John you got the tip again?" His taller friend nodded at him. "Jif you ready?" His friend got into his position and nodded also. He looked back at his other friend, Kimani. He got to his position behind John and waited for the tip-off. When the ball was thrown into the air, his team quickly got the possession and the point.

Kari watched as Yolei kept score for this game. She could see that he started to play differently. He seemed more intense and focused as he played. She looked at the sky above her. The sun was slowly setting and it started to get darker and darker.

He passed the ball in to Kimani and started to head down the court. He looked around the court for his friends. He passed the ball to John and started to run to the other side. Kari stood up and cheered for him as he got the ball back and shot behind the 3 pointer line for two points. It went in with a swish as he ran to the stands and up to Kari.

Without thinking, he hugged her tight and lifted her into the air. Everyone, including Kari, was surprised to see him do that. She laughed as she celebrated with him. Tai looked over at Matt and they both laughed as the crowd started to cheer. The final game was coming.

T.K. went back to his team who started to make fun of him for what he did. He looked back and found Kari lightly blushing as Yolei and the rest of them were all talking. She had her head down and smiling. They all sat down and rested while a couple of cheerleaders came out of nowhere and started to do a cheer.

Once they were done, T.K., with his team, made their way onto the court as James slowly walked on the court after them. They met in the middle and shook hands. "May the best man win." James said as T.K. nodded at him.

Just then the park lights turned on. The crowd started to get restless waiting for the game to start. The lights added a more surreal like feeling on the court. They both walked to their starting position and waited for the tip-off. Just then Tai came walking onto the court with the basketball. He threw it up into the air and quickly ran off the court. James got the ball first as he slowly made his way down the court.

Just then he made a move that surprised T.K.. He made the first point in the game and ran to the other side to get ready to defend. T.K. took the ball and passed it in to Jif. Jif slowly made his way down the court as T.K. and the others were running around the court.

He passed the ball to T.K. who was being defended by James. He pulled a spin move that caught James off guard, also. He fell to the ground as T.K. ran in and made the shot. The crowd started to cheer loudly and laugh as James slowly stood up.

His teammate passed the ball to him as he thought about what to do. The rest of the match went by. The game was the most exciting game the whole day. The crowd was really into it. Half of them were cheering for T.K.'s team, and the other half was cheering for James' team.

Kari was standing on the sidelines acting as a cheerleader for T.K.'s team. When he made a point, she jumped into the air screaming. The game was not only the most exciting game, it was also the highest scoring one. Both teams were well over 50 points.

T.K. called a timeout and brought his team in together. James, likewise, did the same. They both began to converse about a play that they could execute. As they got back on the court, T.K. told Jif to take the ball in. He passed it to John who held onto it for awhile. He passed it to Kimani who nodded to T.K.

Then T.K. ran behind him and then off the court. James stood up trying to look through the crowd to where he disappeared to. Kimani waited for the longest time before T.K. reappeared on the other end of the court calling for the ball. Kimani launched it all the way over to him.

Before James could reach T.K., he took a shot with the ball. Time seemed to slow down as the ball went sailing through the air. James watched in horror as the ball went right into the basket and therefore ended the game, 67 – 65. He held his head down as the people rooting for T.K.'s team went crazy. Kari was jumping up and down hysterically as T.K. ran up to his teammates hugging them all.

Just then James tapped him on the shoulder and held out his hand. T.K. turned around and shook his hand saying, "Good Game." James laughed as he nodded and left the court. T.K. went back to celebrating and they all got off the court.

"And here we have the champions!" Tai screamed onto the microphone as he went over to his bag. He pulled out four trophies and handed them to the winning team. They all took a step out onto the court and held up their trophies high into the air. "Now let us all get ready for the one-on-one game for the extra prize." He finished as he started to announce other news.

It wasn't long until the one-on-one games started. Kimani was to play against Jif, while John went against T.K. Kimani won the first game and T.K. won the other. Then the last match of the night started. Tai went over and wished the both of them good luck as he threw the ball into the air. Kimani was able to get the ball first and used his speed to score the first point.

Though he scored the first point, it would prove to be the only point that he was able to score. T.K. outplayed him to a 21-1 victory. Tai announced him as the winner and the crowd cheered him on. Then slowly one by one they all left.

T.K.'s teammates all congratulated him as they too left. The only people that were left were: Cody, Davis, Ken, Tai, Yolei, Matt, Joe, and T.K. Tai, with a grin on his face, made his way over to T.K. who was drinking up the rest of his water. He placed a hand on his shoulder as he handed him a towel.

"That was a great performance you put on there, you really are something." T.K. thanked him as he took the towel and dried himself. "Well I guess I should tell you what the prize is for winning the one-on-one." T.K. looked up at him as he asked Kari to come over to where they were at. "Well T.K. since you won, and I made this prize just for you. You win a date with Kari!"

"What!" both Kari and T.K. screamed simultaneously. Tai started laughing as T.K. looked up at him then at Kari. 'A date, maybe…' He turned slightly red as he looked away. Kari did the same. She tried to hide her blush as she sat down.

Tai started to tell the both of them the details about the date. He promised he would take them out for the night. He said he would take them to an expensive dinner place, and that he had to dress nice. T.K. shook his head as he turned to look at Kari, who in turned looked at him with a weak smile. 'This is going to be interesting.' He thought.
